Flights to Dongcheon, Gyeongju from NT$33,072

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Dongcheon in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Dongcheon, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
